However, faced with an aggressive 3G mobile offensive Unicom, China Telecom was the first to launch an offensive, announced a high-end dual-network dual standby mobile phone users to network large subsidies and the implementation of Tianyi 3G double discounts. Between Telecom and China Unicom a new round of war as if the high-end 3G mobile phone has already begun.
high-end cell phone battle kicked off
since last March, the Chinese 3G market operators have a more than a year, three major carriers in the first half of this year’s 3G operations will clarify the situation . According to industry sources revealed that the three telecom operators in Hong Kong listed companies will be released this week and next week the first half of 2010 earnings. Among them, China Mobile will be released on August 19 the first half of the financial statements; China Telecom and China Unicom will be August 25 and 26 first-half earnings.
However, the actual 3G battle already in full swing. Recently a group calling itself the \3GS mobile phones listed in the August 9, \Twitter according to its registered users in the email address of view, it should really Hubei Unicom’s employees, the message should be Kaopu’s.
Although this news to incite the users iPhone4 passion, but will advance disclosure of information due to high-level anger Unicom is not clear. The other consequences are triggered alert other operators. Communication in a media conference recently, Liu Bo, general manager of Beijing Telecom’s CDMA mobile phone makers on the scene and told reporters: \He issued the initiative, the proposed operators, CDMA handset manufacturers and media linked together to create a good CDMA 3G mobile phone brand.
China Telecom, Beijing Telecom has always been the province (city) company in the vanguard of the development of 3G, the tariff policies of other provincial company has a leading role, Liu Bo, then actually pull the attacks on China Unicom’s high-end telecommunications phone off.
3G handset subsidies Competition
objective, the three 3G operators is in fact the melee, the lower end, with China Unicom’s 3G video calls can be fixed with China Mobile’s TD vs. wireless fixed; in the field of BlackBerry phones, China Telecom’s 3G BlackBerry and BlackBerry China Mobile’s GSM contest; the most striking is in the TD mobile phone cases are less competitive, China Telecom dual network dual standby mobile phone 3G iPhone war with China Unicom.
8 17, \Users only need to buy packs to and undertakes to make minimum monthly consumption, you can get the appropriate dual-network 3G phone to be a double, and get up to 6,000 yuan tariff and giving.
Apple’s iPhone is no doubt due to a brand, but also appears unambiguous Beijing Telecom, pull to six vendors to help out, including Motorola, Samsung, Cool and other well-known smartphone manufacturers. Apple iPhone bare metal prices higher, Beijing Telecom is assembled 6 dual standby dual network 3G phone, the lowest market retail price of only 1,http://mbtpicklv.universalerotic.net/2010/08/21/transformation-of-chinas-foundry-industry-experts/,880 yuan, the highest has only 4980 yuan, and China Unicom iPhone 3GS version of the lowest prices fairly.
of the users, is clearly the most important subsidies. Unicom, the latest sale of the iPhone 3GS 8G version WiFi feature also to be a subsidy to purchase contract machine user to select the lowest 96 packages in the network two years, the stored telephone bill for 2,000 yuan, 2,999 yuan a price that you can purchase; stored 4999 yuan for the bill, and select the 226 yuan of the packages in the network for two years, you can receive a free 8GB of iPhone 3GS.
However, Beijing seems more intensive telecommunications, each dual-network dual standby mobile phone Li Bao not only includes a cell phone, also donated several thousand dollars the bill, a minimum of 1,800 yuan packs to get a user Department of Tianyi 3G dual-network dual standby cell phone Cool D520, the same time, will be returned to Hua Fei 2640 yuan. IPhone 3GS 8G version with considerable MOTO-XT800 phone packs to spend 3,980 yuan available MOTO-XT800, another 6,000 yuan presented the bill, shocking intensity of the overall subsidies.
CDMA version of iPhone could be coming
However, China Unicom’s strategic point of view, it seems aimed not China Telecom, but the parallel iPhone.
8 9, China Unicom began to 4,999 yuan in the package price and sales functions with WiFi while iPhone 3GS 8G version, in Sanlitun, Shanghai Pudong two Apple stores, began to 3999 yuan with bare metal prices of mobile phones sold, 1,000 yuan lower than the price of China Unicom.
this very strange, it is learned that China Unicom has been in negotiations with Apple for that matter, but no results. Negative interpretation is that the two sides in iPhone sales went their own ways, to maximize their own interests; positive interpretation can be planted carefully Unicom and Apple’s Board, intended to crack down on parallel imports and the digging foot China Mobile users in the network, because the current, parallel imports iPhone 3GS 8G version of the U.S. version is 3700 yuan, the Hong Kong version was 4200 yuan, the Singapore version is 4150 yuan, and the Apple store and not subsidies the price of China Unicom.
China Telecom’s dual-network dual standby mobile phone is not quite there is the issue of parallel imports, as are domestic production,griffey sneakers, maintenance convenient than iPhone, especially as Beijing Telecom telephone bill for gift packages can handle 3G business, but also Package handling and chat.
It is reported that Beijing Telecom has launched another trump card \Mobile coupon giving up 3,600 yuan, 6,000 yuan while the return of Hua Fei. Unicom currently no high-end mobile phones this policy, only in the thousands of similar subsidies for 3G handsets.
industry estimates, the new confrontation will be listed in the iPhone 4 after it is learned that China Telecom is also for the CDMA standard of the iPhone and Apple’s exchange, release time is unknown.
